POWER FAIL

It worked for ONE day and burned out. TOTALLY unacceptable. Now I have to spend extra time, gas, energy to drive back to the store...and what do I replace it with? The same failed product? This is the third time this product by this company has disappointed. And these lights aren't cheap. The first time it happened, of course I had lost the receipt and thrown the box away. Had to eat that 38 bucks.
No, I do not recommend this product.

What is the percentage uvb this bulb gives off? Also what is the estimated drop in efficiency by mounting on a screen and does the included clear plastic bulb cover affect this?
- Hi there! We don't provide percentages. The clear lens is UV admitting and blocks less than 10 percent. It does increase the blocking with age, though. The amount blocked by a screen will vary with the density of the screen. Generally, it is 10-30 percent depending on the size of the mesh (smaller mesh blocks more). If you'd like to chat about this further, feel welcome to give us a call at 1-888-255-4527.

Would this work for leopard geckos?
- leopard geckos don’t necessarily need uvb, but as always there are certain benefits to having a uvb on them. in my opinion this is the best uvb bulb to purchase! hope this helps!

Would this work for a Chinese Water Dragon, they need UVB and UVA?
- This would be great for a Chinese Water Dragon!

I just got a spiney soft shell turtle which uvb bulb do i need?
- You should use the Zilla Tropical 25 UVB Fluorescent T8 Bulb, ideally in a Zilla Slimline Tropical 25 UVB T8 Fluorescent Fixture.

How long should this bulb last? Mine just burnt out.
- Give support a call at 888-255-4527.

Does this bulb provide heat? If so, how much?
- No, this would be strictly a UVB lamp for tropical reptiles. You would need a separate lamp or device for heating.

i need a bulb that dose uvb and uva
- Thank you for your question animalhouse1. For a long tailed grass lizard I would recommend the Tropical 25. This light provides a full dosage of UVB (25 microwatts per second/cm2) along with essential UVA light. As a bonus, Tropical 25’s full-spectrum visible light output helps bring out subtle colors in a reptile’s skin that makes everyday viewing more dramatic.

I have a 30" Zoo Med Slider Reptile Hood, but the florescent bulb is 24".
- Thank you for your question. You would need to get a bulb that would be the same bulb size as what you currently have. If you are looking for a replacement bulb to replace the 24" size bulb you have, we would recommend that you use another 24" size bulb. tmb

wht kind of uv do i need for a 20 gallons tank?
- Thank you for your question canelita. Most likely you would want the Tropical 25, but it would depend on the type of turtle your neighbor gave to you. Red-Eared Sliders, Red Foot Tortoises and Eastern Box Turtles all require Tropical 25. Sulcata Tortoises, Leopard Tortoises and Russian Tortoises all require Desert 50.

I have the Zilla fixture with the built in timer. The flourescent bulb is 27" and the fixture is 30". I ordered the 24" ones and they were too small.
- Thank you for your question. Our item #33205 30” 18W T5 should work for this fixture. Here's a link to the page: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=18318
